Access to private apps

[Vctrsnts]

Good morning,

First of all, thank you for this amazing launcher that I always end up going back to. For a couple of hours I tried to use another one, but it was impossible and I went back to this one :)

The question I have is that in previous versions of Android along with Kiss Launcher, you could see the applications that you had in your private workspace, but now, with the new version of Android, this is no longer possible.
So what do you have to do to access the applications that you have in your private space?

Thanks

Private space is the new Android 15 name for "special work profile" ?

Latest KISS makes disabled profile apps grey and demotes them in the list, but they are there.

I reproduce this issue on A15. More broadly, this is being treated differently by Android - all third party launchers need specific code to toggle the profile and view the apps within it even when the profile is unlocked.

"While the Android operating system handles the creation, management, and deletion of the Private Space, Android launchers like Niagara Launcher are responsible for actually letting the user interact with it. To properly support Private Space in Android 15, launchers have to have a separate container for apps installed in the Private Space, have to be able to lock and unlock the container on demand, have to hide apps in the Private Space when it’s locked, and have to be able to hide the Private Space entirely when the user enables that setting."

Yes is the name.

With the previous version and Kiss Launcher, the applications were visible but with a small icon like a suitcase or a key and that is where the difference between a normal work application (Google Play) and the one in the private space was seen.

Would be great if support for Private Space could be added to KISS indeed! Currently apps in Private Space cannot be found / are not listed in KISS.

I think the same approach as with apps in Work Profile could be taken ("grey-out" the apps if profile is disabled).

hope this is useful information for the devs
